Respondent: Whitnash Town Council

The loss of Leamington Football club from this site is a major concern. It is an asset of community value and its loss would be a great loss to the community.
Strong objections to the use of CPO.
Traffic issues are also a major concern, particularly the accident risk at Harbury Lane/Fosseway. Access points to the site could cause further problems. This would require major road improvements.
The semi-rural character of the area will be spoilt, including the setting of Chesterton Windmill. This is a particular problem when combined with the amount of greenfield development being proposed to the south of the town.
Flooding is also prevelant in the areas and drainage and sewerage will need to be upgraded.
The will be an adverse impact on local infrastructure (health, schools), particularly when considered in combination with proposed housing. Schools in Whitnash are at capacity.
The site has poor access to shops and no footpaths to links to facilities.
